You’ve started to raise yourself to standing completely unassisted and stand for a few seconds at a time. Last weekend in Breckenridge you did this in front of your dad, Liz and Jim, and I proclaimed that you did it for five minutes. Your dad said it was closer to 20 seconds. It was amazing.

Today you have been doing this over and over. You are standing for many many seconds at a time. Often you get so excited that you squeal out in joy, sometimes waving your hands around or bending your knees up and down, both of which usually cause you to fall. You are days away from walking.
